Crafts CouncilDirectorySolace in Woodwood turner and sculptorCardiff, WalesWoodworkingCraft educatorWebsiteE-mailInstagramAboutInfoSustainabilityI make unique wooden objects for everyday use and enjoyment. I am inspired and excited by how green (unseasoned) wood changes shape as it dries out. I strive to showcase the natural beauty of the material and celebrate the organic and unpredictable nature of the wood itself. Pieces range from sculptural objects and hollow form vessels to contemporary homeware items. I sometimes add colour and texture by ebonising or dyeing and wire brushing.Focus:I turn green timber almost paper-thin to encourage the pieces to twist and turn naturally as they dry out to produce exciting and often unexpected results.Commissions:Available for commissionsI use only ethically sourced or repurposed timber - either storm fallen, sustainably trimmed from friends’ and neighbours’ gardens or from local arborists and local authority parks. I give all of my wood shavings to a local community garden for mulch.AboutI make unique wooden objects for everyday use and enjoyment.
